Damn it, I knew that but forgot to put the little star next to his name. :laugh:

Also, interesting note on Manuel Poggiali. He was down on my list on the Fortuna Aprilia team but that's not right, it seems he's going to ride for the Campetella team instead alongside Ricard Cardus. Still, good to have him back, now let's hope he's regained some of his old form. :)

I read that the Pog was gonna be riding alongside Lai, who would be with Campetella again.. Is Cardus going to be in the 125s maybe?

There's some kind of franchise-sharing deal going on with Campetella and Fortuna, I think.

Pol Espargaro was entered under the Campetella banner this year but the cameras cut to Dani Amatrian & co. when they were watching him this year, and Alex Debon was often quoted as saying he was 'rider coach' for Jorge and Pol.

new BSB team for next year

North West 200 Ducati team with Michael Rutter riding a 1098

Yeah that team for Rutter is an arm of Buildbase Ducati, who've been doing very nicely in British Superstock in recent years.

Also we have Adam Jenkinson - another former Superstock runner - stepping up to BSB next year as team-mate to Aaron Zanotti with SMT who have gone from one Yamaha at the start of last year to two Hondas.

Soon I'll put together an outline BSB list...

PSG-1 Kawasaki has signed Makoto Tamada alongside Regis Laconi. Along with Badovini and Iannuzzo, I think this is a pretty good and balanced lineup.

The PSG SBK line-up is on the 'mature' end of the scale, that's for sure.. They could have mixed it up, one oldie one youngie in both WSBK/WSS..

Badovini and Iannuzzo are in WSB, for the Pedercini team on Kawasakis. Hopefully they can be in the mix rather than at the back.
